Pujols: More Than the Game ReviewI am a baseball fan for the sake of baseball, not too interested in the big names (or salaries) that so often accompany winning teams. I have attended more baseball games than I can count, and as it turns out, probably watched my brother play baseball against Albert Pujols in high school (just didn't realize what he would become!).While this book advertised Pujols's faith in God as the key component to his life, I was skeptical that it would pan out. (Like most, I'm pretty weary of the constant attention paid to "celebrity" athletes, actors, and the like.) But by page 6, when the authors are describing Pujols's performance during a "Buddy Day" game, I had tears in my eyes, and I knew that he was serious.
The book is heavy on sports action and stats; it is also heavy on faith. (As the book is published by Thomas Nelson, I would expect the second.) It is also immensely readable. I snuggled up on the couch the night the book arrived in the mail, and finished it in a single sitting.
The book should appeal to any true baseball fan, Pujols fan, and young athletes hoping to "make it big" while maintaining a focus on and relationship with God. It is reassuring to hear an athlete speak so clearly about his faith.
